My Irish MIL always cooked carrots, celery, turnips and parsnips along with the potatoes. She added the cabbage to the hot broth just long enough to cook it tender-crisp and still bright green. It is a delicious dinner. - 3/17/2011   8:51:12 PM

LOVE corned beef n cabbage! I boil the meat for about 3 hours, then I take it out and put mustard and honey on it and bake a glaze on it while I boil the potatoes, cabbage, onion in the broth. YUMMY - 3/17/2011   4:54:25 PM

We always have corned beef and cabbage. I did notice the first comment, I'd rather have ham, actually. I am Irish and Scottish, and always thought I was right on the money with the corned beef dish...goes to show you! - 3/17/2011   4:21:28 PM

Just a point---I live in Ireland----we don't do corned beef and cabbage----that's American-----we do HAM and cabbage with boiled potatoes. :-} - 3/17/2011   1:33:56 PM

Not really an Irish food, but we are having it anyway! - 3/17/2011   12:56:44 PM

Thanks for the blog. Don't normally make corned beef and cabbage - for St. Pat's or any other day - although we do like it. But I'm always looking for interesting recipes to try. 'Tis the slow-cooker recipe I like me-self. Happy St. Patrick's Day! - 3/17/2011   9:14:17 AM

Read the bible we have been eating animals and even CHRIST ate the fishes. - 3/17/2011   8:57:02 AM

Crock Pot Corned Beef sounds great! - 3/16/2011   5:39:02 PM

I LOVE Corned Beef, but somehow I never think to make it until St. Paddy's Day! I'm going to try it in the crockpot this year. Erin go bragh! - 3/16/2011   4:40:35 PM

My husband loves corned beef; but, it's not exactly "my thing." - 3/16/2011   2:53:34 PM

absolutely delicious - 3/16/2011   2:16:15 PM

St. Paddy's day is one of my favorite holidays...thanks for the recipes! - 3/16/2011   12:36:06 PM

Yep, its the flesh of a dead animal. That is what carnivorous and omnivorous animals eat. And most (but not all) humans are omnivorous!
